Adding Just Intonation to Mutable Instruments Plaits

Follow along and get the firmware here goodtohear.co.uk/plaits
This is a guide for hacking Mutable Instruments modules based on the STM32F architecture including Elements, Warps, Marbles and Clouds.
What you’ll need
- Computer that can run VirtualBox
- Plaits Module
- STM32F Development Board like [this](amzn.to/3qhxM3N)
- Headers like [these](amzn.to/3rkVhKQ)
- Jumpers like [these](amzn.to/3bj1JMC)
- Soldering Iron like [this](amzn.to/3sPvue4)
- Solder like [this](amzn.to/3kOwlZR)
- Pliers like [these](amzn.to/2MP7EQd)
If you don’t want to scratch your module’s faceplate, maybe get a spanner head screwdriver like [this](amzn.to/3bgYzci).

Note that it is not necessary to solder the header to the board. You can insert it temporarily in the 4 holes and hold it in place for the few seconds required to flash the firmware.

So I'm hearing on Reddit! www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/m1zi39/intro_to_hacking_mutable_instruments_plaits/gqgm9kw/?context=3 Oh well. I'll pin your comment!

Thanks for making this - the process is well documented in writing, but I always prefer to watch someone do it to demystify the process and remind myself that I could actually do this!

[@emilie9896]

Also, I have fixed the incorrect file name in the online instructions. It was makefile.inc not programming.inc! But changing the programmer from the command line works just as well.

Dude, I love your content! I am so happy I found your channel!

[@michaelforrest]

Thanks!

[@Burfordstechstuff]

This is brilliant. Good job.

[@siliconbrush]

Your astonishing, thank you.

This feels like a slightly posher version of "Look Mum No Computer". Perhaps "See here, Mother! I'm not using a computing device!" (Note I say this as a fan of this channel and LMNC 😃)

[@gregorio98000]

Legend ! Thanks again !

You may want a Xicon™ Knurled Nut Driver - P/N: 382-0006 rather than that spanner head screwdriver.

I enjoyed this! Subd

"SWD" stands for "Serial Wire Debug", it is similar to JTAG.

[@pixelfrenzy]

Noob question: If you can use the build environment to create a WAV (and thereby update the firmware that way), why do you even need the STM32 dev board? Thanks!

[@michaelforrest]

You could absolutely do that, it’s just a bit of a slow way to work. This can get a little miserable as you’re getting closer to finishing something and you’re making smaller and smaller changes, forcing you to wait for minutes every time to find out if your tiny bug fixes worked!

[@pixelfrenzy]

@@michaelforrest So if we only want to compile someone else's firmware, possibly with a couple of mods, then there's no need for then SWD interface at all then? Sweet! Thanks.

SWD is Serial Wire Debug :P
